Shaping and Compaction
PHMA/PWMA/PConcrete

(March 9, 2016)
Use when specifying Porous HMA or Pervious Concrete.
Because of the high void content in the aggregates, there will be some displacement of the aggregate surface under load. Crushed Surfacing Choker Course is used to minimize the displacement in preparation for paving. The use of Asphalt Treated Permeable Base (ATPB) directly over the Permeable Ballast Base Course eliminates the need for Crushed Surfacing Choker Course.
